My plans for today are to A) hit the Bagel Place for a leisurely brunch with Skylar and, in my case, coffee during which we will read and write; B) see the puppies up for adoption at Petco; C) find a Mother's Day present for Kim; D) secure Bean a hearty meal involving salmon; E) run home so that she can watch The Barbie Diaries one more time and so I can work; F) get Kim at the airport around 9pm; G) hopefully see
